Workflow Icon

Ignore in Alfred

Exclude files and folders from Alfred’s search results

Version 2024.1 by Alfred Team


🗒 Note from Alfred Team

The macOS metadata search API only allows including search folders, not excluding them. The workflow works by tagging files as alfred:ignore so Alfred knows to disregard them.

Usage

Remove or readd files and folders from Alfred’s search results via the Universal Actions.

Universal Actions for ignore and unignore

Alternatively, search for files and folders via the ignore, unignore, and reignore keywords.

Alfred search for ignore Alfred search for unignore Alfred search for reignore
